Reports have swirled of a rift between Chanel and Blake Lively, who’s an ambassador for the fashion house and appeared in ads for its Mademoiselle handbag last year. But she skipped Chanel’s couture show in Paris last month and then announced a deal to be a spokeswoman for Gucci fragrance Première, which will go on sale in September. She then wore a gorgeous yellow Gucci gown to the New York premiere of her film “Savages.”

This all led some to believe there was friction with Chanel. But sources say all is fine. “Blake is still an ambassador to Chanel and regularly keeps in touch with designer Karl Lagerfeld. She was invited to the couture show but couldn’t make it because she was promoting ‘Savages.’ She still wears Chanel whenever she can.” Lively, who famously doesn’t have a stylist, has publicly proclaimed her love of the Parisian house, telling reporters at the time of her Mademoiselle campaign announcement: “I had other opportunities, and I would say, ‘Thank you so much, but I am holding out for Chanel . . . That’s who I want to be the face of.’ And people would say, ‘Well, that’s unrealistic. They only hire Europeans,’ and I said, ‘Well, how great. I’ll be the first then.’
A rep for Chanel did not get back to us.

^ Goodness, does the Post have nothing else to write about? What a stupid story.

Do they ever? It's pretty standard NY Post / Page Six fare.

I have no idea, but I assume she will be at the Venice Film Festival on September 1 for the unveiling of the Gucci 'Premiere' ad. Maybe they will overlap / coincide?

Blake Lively holds onto her fruit salad as she walks across the street on the set of her show Gossip Girl on Thursday (July 19) in New York City.
The 24-year-old actress wore a black robe over her costume while on break from filming.
